Melanie Laurent to Star as French Trailblazing Artist Rosa Bonheur in Fabienne Berthaud’s Biopic (EXCLUSIVE)


Melanie Laurent will play Rosa Bonheur, a trailblazing artist from 19th century, in Fabienne Berthaud's film from 'Coco Before Chanel' producers.

“Rosa Bonheur” is being produced by Carole Scotta, Barbara Letellier and Caroline Benjo at Haut et Court, the company behind “Coco Before Chanel” and “The Night of the 12th,” which won a raft of Cesar Awards last year. The biopic reteams Haut et Court with Berthaud following her previous films, notably Diane Kruger starrer ”Lily Sometimes,” which played at Cannes’ Director’s fortnight in 2010, and 2019’s ”A Bigger World,” starring Cecile de France, which bowed at Venice. The movie will shoot on location in Bonheur’s well-preserved atelier at her Château de By in Thomery, where she worked and lived for over 40 years, alongside her partner Nathalie Micas and later with Anna Klumpke, an American painter.
